The U.S. Army Major calls it the "Nintendo generation" because young people aged 18 to 25 are living a sedentary life and are weak and easily injured, making it difficult to transition to military life. It is reported that he is injured. The news originated from an official press release published in the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS) of the US Department of Defense. The title of the article is "Why is Generation Z at risk of injury at Boot Camp (a US military recruit training facility rather than a macOS dual boot)?" In this article, we first interviewed Major Jon-Marc Thibodeau, who is in charge of medical preparation in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

Because.
It's far more likely that Gen Z's young people grew up playing "Minecraft," "Call of Duty," and "Fortnite," and it's very embarrassing to call them "Nintendo." --Mother Board magazine states that. However, the generation who has played "Call of Duty" and "Fortnite" should have been trained in aiming power to aim the gun. Major Thibodeau may have woven it into the Nintendo generation.
